Today is Mile Marker's one and only zero day on her hike of the Arizona Trail. Mesa Arizona experienced a downpour, but that did not put a damper on the visit to REI or Chinese food dinner. Tune in to hear her discuss the glorious picnic on day 21 and her opinions on rest.

00:05:39 My relationship with rest

00:10:02 Nervous system regulation, huh?

00:14:19 Seeking depth with levity

On her second day in the Superstition Wilderness, Mile Marker records her thoughts within a gusty wind. She remarks on the distinctions between BLM land, national forest, and wilderness land. She also compares arriving in Roosevelt Arizona to her recent hike around Mont Blanc in France, Italy, and Switzerland. Can you guess which had better mid-trail snacks...?

Mile Marker passes the 300th mile on the Arizona Trail! She has quite a strenuous day hiking all of passage 18 and starting passage 19 of the Superstition Wilderness. Are the airplanes that make noises but are not visible a figment of her imagination? Is maintaining her sanity while dating in Austin another figment of her imagination?? Let's take a listen!
